123: Chapter 123 Jiang Yu Ruo is killed in a calamity
An hour later, Chen Xuanyi had long since moved far away from the original spot. The territory of Star Falling Mountain was not large, merely extending for several hundred li. However, the underground region was not restricted solely to the scope of Star Falling Mountain; it even included the surrounding mountain ranges. Coupled with an underground depth of a full several dozen li, this resulted in the entire subterranean world being exceptionally vast and boundless.
Therefore, the huge commotion just now actually did not attract many people. At most, only the nearby Cultivators and Yao Beasts perceived the tremors coming from the ground.
"This place is truly dangerous. I never expected to encounter so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators." The more Chen Xuanyi thought about it, the more alarmed he became. If not for the millennial spiritual milk and the fire spiritual energy here far surpassing the outside world, which made his Great Sun Radiant Flame far exceed its usual state, he would have died long ago.
Originally, with his strength, he could at most fight to a draw with a sixth-layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator at full effort. However, against a seventh-layer Foundation Establishment, he truly was no match; after all, he was not Chen Changqing, who could defeat a ninth-layer Perfection Foundation Establishment with fifth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Chen Xuanyi rested for a while longer, recovering the injuries within his body first, before opening the old man's Storage Pouch. Taking a look inside, great joy surged in his heart.
Inside, besides some Spirit Stones and Magical Artifacts, there were also a few bottles of Medicinal Pills. However, these were not important; the most important thing was that there was actually a piece of third-rank Star Falling Ore here, fully the size of a fist.
If it were handed over to some profound Artifact Refiner for refinement, at least a thumb-sized Star Falling Stone could be extracted. Relying on this Star Falling Stone, the power of his Magical Artifact would increase by at least twenty to thirty percent.
Since the goal of this trip had been achieved, it was time for him to leave.
Chen Xuanyi immediately flew toward the surface.
After passing through layers of stone walls, he returned to the place where he had previously encountered the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, including the purple-robed woman.
The magma below remained very calm, and no one would ever expect that a third-rank Magma Behemoth was hidden beneath.
Chen Xuanyi lowered his figure and then slowly passed through this place.
After a short while, he finally crossed the magma region without incident. What puzzled him slightly, however, was that the magma below was a bit too quiet, as if that Magma Behemoth had not yet returned.
However, he did not dare to investigate the situation. He was merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; no matter how foolish he was, he would not go courting death.
"Fairy Jiang, obediently stop, and perhaps we can still let you have a good time."
"Indeed! Otherwise, you will suffer later, hahaha."
Three Foundation Establishment Cultivators were chasing one after another—they were shockingly those same Foundation Establishment Cultivators Chen Xuanyi had encountered earlier.
An expression of anger surfaced on Jiang Yuruo's face. These two scoundrels! Originally, her cultivation was the highest, and coupled with He Kai being nearby, these two had not dared to do anything out of line, at least maintaining an apparent peace on the surface.
Originally, relying on just these two, she would not have been afraid. However, earlier in order to escape the pursuit of the Magma Behemoth, she and He Kai had been responsible for casting high-power Spells. Although they had both escaped, He Kai had become separated, and her magical power had also suffered immense losses.
Otherwise, how could she possibly allow these two scoundrels to bully her like this? Odious!
"Xiao Qi, I will strike first, and you guard our flanks from behind." A relatively older Foundation Establishment Cultivator behind Jiang Yuruo said. The two shared similar facial features, looking very much like biological brothers.
"Big Brother, understood. Leave it to me; this woman cannot run away anyway." The one called Xiao Qi nodded.
"Hehe! Fairy, you cannot escape." After receiving his younger brother's response, Xiao Lin, who was the elder brother, immediately attacked.
Swoosh!
Jiang Yuruo turned her head, forming hand seals with both hands as streams of blue ripples surged outward from around her body.
When Xiao Lin's Black Fiend Saber touched those ripples, it was instantly deflected away.
Shock filled his heart. As expected of a sixth-layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even with such a massive consumption of magical power, she still easily blocked his attack.
Jiang Yuruo was not someone who would take a beating without fighting back either. With a wave of her hand, a blue water cauldron floated out from her Storage Pouch, and then poured down frantically toward the two people before her.
"Not good, dodge quickly." Xiao Lin hurriedly warned, then took out an escape talisman and instantly teleported out of the blue cauldron's attack range.
Xiao Qi in the back was already quite far away, so upon seeing the blue cauldron appear, he immediately retreated.
However, Jiang Yuruo would not let the two succeed either. With just a thought, a large amount of water spiritual energy transformed into several spheres, attacking the two of them respectively.
The three of them instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.
As time passed, Jiang Yuruo discovered that her magical power seemed somewhat inadequate, yet it was not a symptom of depleted magical power. Could it be?
"Have you finally realized it? Earlier we already administered Soul-Leaving Powder to you. Now, not only is your entire body weak, but your Meridians are also blocked, and your magical power should no longer be able to circulate." Xiao Lin said with a chuckle, no longer concealing the look in his eyes as he glanced at Jiang Yuruo.
"You two scoundrels, if you have the ability, then try me!" Jiang Yuruo shouted angrily. She could now feel that the magical power within her body could no longer circulate according to her Cultivation Technique, which meant she no longer had any ability to resist.
"Can't wait already? Fine, then let us brothers give you a taste of it. We will definitely let you have a good time, hehehe."
"Hehehe."
The two men slowly advanced. By now, the beauty before them was completely devoid of any ability to resist, and furthermore, once they finished having their fun, it would be this woman's time to die.
"Odious." Jiang Yuruo fell from the air, her entire body collapsing to the ground. She lacked any strength to support herself in standing up, and could only crawl bit by bit, trying her best to widen the distance between them.
The two men looked at her, the greed in their eyes intensifying even more. One of them could no longer help licking his lips.
Xiao Qi walked up in front of her, intending to tear her clothes. With eyes splitting from anger, Jiang Yuruo spat a mouthful at him.
Caught off guard, Xiao Qi was spat all over the face. He instantly flew into a rage, slapping Jiang Yuruo across the face and directly turning her cheek red.
"Bitch, you really don't know what's good for you. After both of us finish having our fun later, we'll let you know what a living hell is like."
"How dare you! Aren't you afraid of my Jiang family's retaliation?" Tears faintly welled up in Jiang Yuruo's eyes as she threatened them.
Anyway, the two of them had already gone this far, and they had offended her anyway, so they feared nothing.
Xiao Lin laughed and said, "Hehe! Your Jiang family is indeed formidable. However, I've heard in recent years that your Jiang family's Old Ancestor seemed to have encountered some kind of trouble? If you die here, I wonder if your Jiang family will be able to find us?"
"You..." Jiang Yuruo was furious, yet despair also appeared on her face. Indeed, what they said was not wrong; her Jiang family's Old Ancestor had been severely injured in that great battle ten years ago. This was also why she had traveled to this place alone—because she needed to find treasures for her family's Old Ancestor to heal injuries.
And this kind of matter could not be let known to others as much as possible, for fear of others guessing it. This was why she had worn a mask. However, the Spells of the Jiang family were too famous, and clues had been spotted when cooperating with them earlier, which also led them to keep their eyes on her all along.
As for He Kai, although he was not as despicable as these two brothers, who knows, he might harbor some other thoughts deep down as well.
